Are you looking for a way to increase your oil and gas production?

If so, you need to consider artificial lift and production optimization. Artificial lift is a system that uses mechanical or electrical means to lift oil and gas from a wellbore to the surface. Production optimization is maximizing the production of a well by optimizing the flow rate, adjusting, and improving the operating envelope of the oil and gas installations while paying attention to cost efficiencies, safety and ESG compliance.

I have over 35 years of experience in artificial lift and production optimization in conventional and unconventional assets. I have worked for national oil companies, majors, independents, and service providers globally. I have authored several patents, SPE papers and have delivered a multitude of industry presentations. I continue to teach for SPE, university, and professional forums.

I can help you achieve production uplift through improved designs, operational practices, and holistic artificial lift optimization.

I offer a comprehensive approach by

Analyzing your wells to determine the best artificial lift system for your needs.
